The result was delete. The only information that the NYT article provides about the band is that they are from Annapolis and that they made a cover of I am a Rock. That's far below the bar set by WP:GNG. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 12:13, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged as unsourced since 2008, article tries to present the band as more historically important than it really was. They actually have one reliable but brief retrospective mention as an early unknown emo act ([1]), but contemporary coverage is dim except for a very brief listing in a 2002 book on 90s alt-rock ([2]). The article's lengthy Discography section actually shows a fairly small group of songs popping up again and again in re-released demos and compilations. Modern coverage consists of the usual retail and database sites and even those are scarce. Note that searching for this band is tough because there is at least one punk band with the exact same name, a rap group called The Hated Crew, and various others. See also the faulty article for the related band Three Shades of Dirty. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 21:39, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Having looked through both of the articles nominated together (this one and Three Shades of Dirty) which I !voted delete on, they seem very similar. Unlike the other one, this has a few sources online... most of them seem to be rather dull, although they do confirm its existence and try to show notability... oh, what's this?? one of them happens to be the... holy CRAP Lois!! It's the New York FrEAkIn Times!!! jp×g 05:11, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note the difference between reliable sources and significant coverage in the notability rules. The band got ONE FrEAkIn paragraph in NYT, Lois, in an article that was not even about them but about their genre. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:56, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
